It would not be recommended to fire at a hard surface where there is the potential for the ball to bounce back towards the shooter or any spectators.ĭuring our testing we found it fun to place several 5-gallon pails in a large area and try to see if we could drop any balls in the pails. Something that has to be considered when firing golf balls is that they react unpredictably when they strike a hard surface. Standard blanks are used in conjunction with the Bloom Automatic Golf Ball Launcher and the use of grenade launching blanks is not recommended. We can only assume that when used with the M1A or M1 Garand they will travel further. With an SKS they will fly in excess of 500 yards almost completely out of sight. When used with an 11.5-inch barrel, the distance was reduced to somewhere in the area of 100 – 150 yards. With a 20-inch barrel on an AR-15 the balls can fly as far as 350 yards. The distance the ball will travel depends entirely upon the caliber and the barrel length of the firearm used. It uses dog-point set screws (A) and is simply secured on one of the rings (B) on the flash hider. The launcher is made to attach to any firearm with a 22mm flash hider. To fire, hold the rifle on your shoulder in a slightly elevated position so the ball will not roll out.
A golf ball is dropped into the launcher and the blank round is loaded into the chamber. For obvious reasons this device should NEVER be used with live ammunition. They also recently added the correct flash hiders for an AK47 to use with this system.Īfter securing the launcher to the firearm, all that is necessary is a bucket of golf balls and a corresponding number of blanks. It will also function on the 1903 Springfield, M1 Garand and M1A / M14 when used in conjunction with their grenade launching attachments.
The firearms the Bloom device can be used with include, but are not limited to, the following unmodified firearms Yugo SKS, AR-15, M16, FAL, Galil, CETME, G-3 and MAS 49/56.
Unlike cup-point set screws, there should be no scratching or marring of the original finish. It simply slides over the factory flash hider or grenade launcher and is secured with dog-point set screws in the corresponding grooves. Rather than having a dedicated thread that must be matched to a particular firearm, this device will function with any standard 22mm flash hider or grenade launcher. The Bloom Automatic Golf Ball Launcher is a muzzle attachment designed to be used with several firearms.
The Bloom Automatic Golf Ball Launcher when attached to one of several rifles with a 22mm flash hider has the potential to launch a golf ball in excess of 500 yards!
